Parasite Found for Mediterranean Fly

The Hawaiian Board of Agriculture gave Dr. Sylvestri, an entomologist, the commission to hunt for a parasite to destroy the fruit pest, in the islands, known as the Mediterranean fly. He cabled from Cape Town, South Africa, March 6, that he had found it in the West African jungle, and that he would bring it back via Australia.
